Buenos Aires, Argentina: Glamorous and gritty, Buenos Aires is two cities in one. What makes Argentina's capital so fascinating is its dual heritage—part European, part Latin American. Plaza de Mayo resembles a grand square in Madrid, and the ornate Teatro Colón would not be out of place in Vienna. Yet, the essence of South America is palpable in the leather shoes displayed on cobbled streets and the spontaneous parades of soccer enthusiasts. With limited-production wines, succulent steaks, and a plethora of ice cream flavours, the city has perfected these old-world imports.
